Abstract

The present invention provides an improved greenhouse, improving upon the shortcomings of a typical greenhouse with difficult assembly and handling. The greenhouse is assembled by a plurality of trusses, which are combined through a plurality of erection tubes along with the covering and a plurality of angled elements. The covering directly couples onto the erection tubes, which are coupled via angled elements to form a greenhouse, thereby achieving rapid assembly/disassembly and handling of spare parts. The retaining portion of the covering is provided with layering, so that the covering could be supported and leveled by the layering to provide a smooth greenhouse with improved applicability.

Claims
